In recent years, China's soybean industry has been impacted by cheap imported soybeans. China has imported about one-third of global total soybean import. China imported 42.55 million tons of soybeans in 2009, with a net increase of 5 million tons compared with that of 2008.

Because the benefits which soybeans can generate decline, farmers are reluctant to plant soybeans, soybean acreage and output decrease. In 2009, soybean acreage in China hit 8.8 million hectares, down 3.6% yr-on-yr; and 14.5 million tons of soybeans were produced, down 6.7% yr-on-yr.

"High protein" and "non-transgene" are the two merits of China’s soybeans. The isolated soy protein output of China reached 495,000 tons in 2009, a 22.5% YoY rise, and the figure is expected to increase steadily from 2010 to 2012.
